---

A properly functioning starter is essential for keeping your vehicle’s electrical system in top shape. If you’re a Florida driver noticing dim headlights, trouble starting your car, or a dead battery, it may be time to seek starter repair in Ft. Lauderdale. At Downtown Auto Sales and Service, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing starter issues for drivers in Ft. Lauderdale and Broward County. Our skilled technicians provide comprehensive services, including alternator repair, new battery installation, and starter replacement, to keep your vehicle running smoothly and reliably. Our Fort Lauderdale shop services Pompano Beach, Wilton Manor, Lighthouse Point, Davie, Plantation and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.

If only a "click" is heard when trying to start the vehicle, the battery may be low, battery connections may be dirty or loose, or the starter solenoid may have failed. The entire starting and charging system should be inspected before replacing the starter.

If the battery cables are found to be corroded, they will need to be cleaned and possibly replaced along with the starter.

Corroded and/or loose battery terminals can exhibit the same symptoms as a faulty starter.

A bad switch will have the same symptoms as a defective starter. For vehicles with an automatic transmission, ask to have the neutral safety switch inspected. Manual transmission vehicles should have the clutch pedal switch checked.

Many vehicles have a special ignition key that is electronically coded to start your vehicle. If the key or the system is having problems, the symptom may be the same as a faulty starter.

A car that won’t start can be incredibly frustrating, and the issue might not always be the battery or alternator. The starter motor is also a key component in the ignition system, and when it fails, it can prevent your engine from turning over. Our starter replacement services include:

• Starter Diagnostics: We perform thorough testing to determine if the starter motor is at fault.
• Starter Repair: If the starter is repairable, we provide cost-effective solutions to get it working again.
• Starter Replacement: For starters that are beyond repair, we offer high-quality replacements to ensure smooth engine ignition.
